When is the Right Time to Come in for a Care Management Consultation?

By Brenda Lecco, One Senior Place, Care Manager

We host a lot of educational seminars at One Senior Place and often remind the attendees that we offer a free senior care management consultation with an Elder Care Manager. Often I have clients ask me “how will I know when it’s time to come in for a consultation?”. I usually advise them to come in BEFORE a crisis occurs. Be proactive- not reactive. If you come in while everything is going well, you will be calm and able to hear the advice that’s being offered without all the “noise” an emotional crisis can create. Caregiving can be challenging under the best of circumstances. As a senior, it may feel insurmountable when you are struggling with a crisis situation.

I know that we wait until our roof leaks before we call a roofer, or for the faucet to drip before we call a plumber, but you don’t have to wait to speak with a senior care manager. We are here when you need us…. no crisis necessary! To schedule a free consultation with an Elder Care Manager, fill out the form here or call 1-866-751-6771 anytime between 8:30am and 5pm Monday through Friday.
